Article 1: What Kinds of Messages Help Kids Grow?

I liked this article because it good points that every parent should read. With a simple replacement of a generic praise with process praise, significant differences can be noticed in the child's mindset and success in the future. This article also commented on incorporating the word 'yet' into the child's vocabulary. I can see how this would instantly help kids change their mindset and see challenging tasks as obtainable in the future.

Article 2: Be a Mirror

This article mostly applied to the educational setting, however it has lessons that can be applicable to everyday life. Being a mirror requires knowledge about the growth mindset and helping kids achieve it for themselves. I wish my teachers had used this method with me in the past because it seemed that more often than not, I felt like it was me vs. the classroom and learning, instead of me using the classroom and teachers to my benefit in order to learn.

I think feedback can be very helpful if used correctly and constructively, and harmful if used incorrectly. I love when feedback encourages people to see past their obstacles, and give them motivation to do better. Constructive criticism and using specific phrases along with 'not yet' can make a lasting difference in people's mindset- young or old.

Introduction

All About Me Hey! My name is Katie and I am currently a senior at the University of Oklahoma. When people say time flies by in college, they aren't kidding! I feel like it was just yesterday that I moved into the dorms freshman year, and now within a couple of months I will be moving on to something new. I am currently studying biopsychology as a pre-medical student. I really enjoy sciences so I have enjoyed almost all of my classes I have takes throughout undergraduate so far. I spent the summer studying for the MCAT, and am currently in the process of applying to medical school! This semester I am excited for my classes, but anxious about how they will turn out with all of them online. However, it is important to be flexible, especially in a pandemic, so I am hoping to make the most of it! Besides academics, I love playing volleyball and doing other activities with my friends. My junior year I was the president of the OU Women's Club Volleyball team, and enjoyed traveling to

The Hidden Oasis In a poor village, there was a boy that was known for this love for animals. Although not getting enough food to satisfy his own needs, he always would give portions of his own food to his animals in order to keep them alive.
